Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "As one of the most complexly divisive periods in American history, Reconstruction has been the subject of a rich scholarship. Historians have studied the period's racial views, political maneuverings, divisions between labor and capital, debates about women's suffrage, and of course its struggle between freed slaves and their former masters. Yet, on each of these fronts scholarship has attended overwhelmingly to the eastern United States, especially the South, thereby neglecting important transnational linkages. This volume, the first of its kind, examines Reconstruction's global connections and contexts in ways that, while honoring the field's accomplishments, move it beyond its southern focus"-- Foreword / Ian Tyrrell -- Introduction / David Prior -- Our South American cousin: Domingo F. Sarmiento and education in Argentina and the United States / Evan C. Rothera -- Liberia College and transatlantic ideologies of race and education, 1860-1880 / Matthew J.
